D.I.Y - Swapping Front Tyres with Rear Ones

[abf20]

Hi all,

I have drove my tyres for about 15Ks now, so I thought its about time to swap the front tyres with the rear ones. As per Suzuki Khyber manual, this is what they say:

So as per above, I decided to do it myself. Here are few pictures which I took while doing this:

Left front tyre:

Left Rear Tyre:

Left Rear tyre front on:

Things required to do the DIY. Obviously all the stuff to lift the car and open the screws plus 6 bricks.

Put the bricks behind the front and rear tyres on the other side (right side).

Now make sure hand break is on and car is in gear. Now lift the LEFT REAR tyre.

Life it to the point where you can insert atleast three bricks inside the car.

Now the LEFT REAR tyre is on bricks.

Lift the LEFT FRONT tyre.

And the LEFT FRONT tyre is out now

And So is LEFT REAR one...

Now this is a good time to clear up alot of stuff inside. I did adjust the mud flaps as its very easy to fix them once the wheel is out. Also clean the nut bolts and stuff and remove the dirt. Once you are done do the SWAP.

Make sure you are not putting the same wheels back again at same locations LOL...

And by the end of it you will have your LEFT front and rear tyres swapped.

Now you can do the same on the other side.

I hope you liked it :-),

Cheers,

A real hard work in this heat ... bravo

If you get some wobbling on your steering the try to put back the tyres not in the original configuration but

previous front right to rear right and
previous front left to rear left.

A little wobble or pulling after tyre rotation is normal and goes away in a week or two

gr8 diy, but dont you think its better to jack up your car from between so both of your tyres can lift up at same time and then you can put bricks on both end and jack in between which will give you triple support, cus if you leave one end on bricks and if you go to remove the front tyre sometimes its jammed and you have to kick it to take it out ... i am not saying you but if someone doesnt do a careful job on that, then there are quiet possibilty that your car might fall from the brick, in my suggestion, remove the rear tyre first and immediately insert that tyre under the car so if it drops it drops on top your rim or tyre and you can always jack up easily without causing any damage to your body or yourself
